Who should attend product management sessions?

Startup Founders and CEOs. The first head of product at any venture, you know your target market and their needs. You need to learn how to keep up to date, formalize your knowledge, and communicate it to the rest of the team. As your venture grows, learn when and how to bring in more talent to your product team.

Product Managers and Heads of Product. You are responsible for achieving product-market fit, so you immerse yourself in the world of your customers. That leaves little time for building your product skills together with your product management peers. Take some time to refresh your skills, learn a new technique, and connect with other product teams.

Software and Hardware Engineers. You are mastering the skills to build products, and you wonder how a company ensures they are products that customers want to buy. Learn the techniques product teams use to understand what to build and why, before they hand it off to you. Collaborate better with your peers in product management, ask smarter questions, and build amazing products together.

Students. You think you want to be a product manager, but it’s not clear where you start and how you get from university to your first PM job. Get hands-on experience learning the skills and techniques that product teams use to define and launch world-class products.

Project Managers. Do your colleagues confuse Project management and Product management? Can’t keep the titles straight yourself? Demystify this role with a title so very close to your own but with a very different focus.
